Philip Gourevitch: We Wish to Inform You that Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families: Stories from Rwanda

Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction.

In April of 1994, the government of Rwanda called on everyone in the Hutu majority to kill everyone in the Tutsi minority. Over the next three months, 800,000 Tutsis were murdered in the most unambiguous case of genocide since Hitler’s war against the Jews. Philip Gourevitch’s haunting work is an anatomy of the killings in Rwanda, a vivid history of the genocide’s background, and an unforgettable account of what it means to survive in its aftermath.

One of the most acclaimed books of the year, this account will endure as a chilling document of our time.
